1. Re: CS6-DW ? about active hyperlinks within my video
Nancy O. Nov 27, 2013 9:28 AM (in response to Netcommercial)The W3C specs for HTML5 <video> don't support embedded hyperlinks except to alternate content for older web devices. In the following example, the hyperlink is only visible in pre-IE9 browsers.
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>HTML5 with Video</title> <!--[if lt IE 9]> <script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script> <![endif]--> </head> <body> <!--begin video--> <video controls> <source src="yourvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="yourvideo.webm" type="video/webm"> <source src="yourvideo.ogv" type="video/ogg"> NOTE: If you see this, you're using an outdated browser that doesn't support this type of video. <a href="alternate.html">Click here for an alternative</a> </video> <!--end video--> </body> </html>

2. Re: CS6-DW ? about active hyperlinks within my video
Netcommercial Nov 27, 2013 10:16 AM (in response to Nancy O.)Hi Nancy,
I think you are not getting my point, or question. You are referring to embedding the video, whereas I am referring to embedding a link inside a video. You know a hyperlink within a video?
What I had thought Youtube may have been a solution, was not. Youtube'e Annotation tool merely rewraps a video in a SWF or FLV wrapper to then add a hyperlink to your video. (Same as Flash)
Challenge: Iphone (as mentioned above) does not support it.
